The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 948

"Call Danny now," Gregory orders. "Tell him to bring the formula here. Alone. If I see even one extra person, the deal is off." He glares at her, trying to look intimidating, thinking his tough-guy act will force her into submission.

Tara dials the number. With Gregory hovering over her like a hawk, she quickly explains the situation to Danny. Hearing that the woman he loves has been abducted, Danny's heart nearly stops. Just as the mastermind predicted, Tara is his ultimate weakness. Without a second of hesitation, Danny agrees to trade the formula for her safety.

Before he can ask any questions about her condition, Gregory snatches the phone and ends the call. He refuses to give them enough time to slip each other a coded message. This mission cannot fail; if they lose this chance, they will never get another one. Gregory is taking zero risks.

He texts the location coordinates to Danny using Tara's phone and demands he arrive at a specific time. Afterward, he leaves guards to watch her and steps aside to call the boss.

"Everything is going exactly as planned. He's bringing the formula. Once I confirm he has it, you can show yourself."

The mastermind on the other end sounds incredibly relaxed. Everything is falling perfectly into place. He isn't worried about revealing his identity anymore. Once the formula is in his hands, letting the doomed couple see his face before they die is simply a final act of twisted mercy.
